PCB Design

Course Overview:

This course provides an exposure on the complete cycle of the PCB design. It includes creation of schematic diagram using OrCAD capture – OrCAD Capture is the industry standard solution for designing and developing PCBs because of its intuitive schematic editing, project management, extensive compatibility, and cost effectiveness, Simulation using OrCAD -PSpice – PSpice is a SPICE analog circuit and digital logic simulation program. PSpice processes circuits and executes simulation. PSpice creates an output file to store the simulation results and layout of the PCB board using Allegro PCB Editor – OrCAD PCB Editor contains full-featured PCB editor based on Allegro technology. Its extensive feature set addresses a wide range of today’s design challenges and manufacturability concerns such as intelligent placement and routing, constraint management, creating dynamic shapes, and design reuse. Finally, it also provides hands-on on the fabrication process of the PCB board.
